Few people said gentleman who has

auently there is good deal of unnecessary
fear regarding them In the first place u
rattlesnake will not chase you, and In the
second place it will not attack you unless You
come uDon it In such a way that it cannot
escape without attacking. If rattlesnake is
disturbed IT usually sounds its rattle and
makes off, but if you come upon il suddenly
and it has To fight it will coil itself up pois..
its head and strike at you downward. The
fang is turned up under the upper jaw, and
as it strikes this is thrown out and cuts into

GROUND FLOOR

is a more serious problem to build a
hous. to cost from s. 900 TO &, 900 than to
build one which costs from $50 900 to $40, 600.
The man who builds the house of less cost
must have all OF the comforts Of HIM who
builds all expensive one. The difference i'll
the two houses must lie one not Of comfort,
but Of luxury.
In considering the requirements Of those
who would build house of moderate cost
assume that the family contains the
father, mother and children, both boys and
girls. In a two story house the natural re
quIrements make necessary II reception room,
sitting room, dining room, kitchen, pantries,
vcStibule and stair hall on the first floor. On
the second floor there is the bedroom of the
parents, and adjoining II a bedroom for the
younger children If the family contains chill
dren who require the attention O. the parents
at night. If hot this room may be given 10
the girls of the family, and one more de-
tached 20 the boys There should also be a
guest room, a servants room and the bath
room. This gives four rooms on the first
floor. and five, besides the bathroom above
the first floor. 1t is pleasant to have the
parlor and sitting room IN the front, while
the dining room and kitchen may lie in the
rear Of the house. The stair hall would oc-
cupy an intermediate position. This makes
practically u square house. 1t has been II
common practice during past years in build
ING houses of moderate cost u have the stair
hall along one side with its entrance in front
and the parlor next 10 IT. Back Of the parlor
was the sitting room; the hall opened into
the dining room, and back of the dining room
was the kitchen, and ON To the extreme
rear through summer kitchen, pantry, etc.
This makes long house with only one
room ia front on the first floor and one
chamber and an alcove with Il direct view to
the street
When we say that the sl,-ing room should
be in the front part Of the house it does not
necessarily imply that the parlor should be
disturbed As shown in the annexed plan
they may both lie in front The vestibule,
which Is large enough for a hat rack ana for
the occupants Of the house to stand while
putting Oh their overshoes and wraps, is in
front Of both parlor and reception room, but
Vet in O way 80 as not to disturb the view to
the street from either of these rooms We
cannot have all Of the rooms III front. The
kitchen We do not want there. The dining
room is convenient if placed Immediately in
the rear of the sitting room. The kitchen is
dining room. Thus We have two rooms in
front and two in the rear. This is practically
a square house. The old habit has been TO
plare the stairway along one side OF the par
lur ia the hEll which served as a passageway
from The front TO the rooms immediately i'll

Mrs. M. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is well known to the ladies of that city from the great good she has done by means of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a recent in- teresting case. "A young marrled lady came to me suffering with a severe case of Prolapsus and Liberation. She commenced taking the Compound and in two months was fully restored. In proof of this she soon found herself in an interesting condition. Influenced by foolish friends she attempted to evade the responsibilities of maternity. After ten or twelve days she came to me again and she was indeed in most alarm ing state and suffered terribly. l gave her a tablespoonful of the compound every hour for eight hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much relieved and evidently better. She continued taking the Con- pound, and in due season she became the mother of a fine healthy boy. But for the timely use of the medicine she believes her life would have been lost"

A GRIM BANKER.

 lection of Skeletons.

[ lection of Skeletons.
 "Baron Henickstein was banker in Vienna, to whom I had a letter of intro duction, said lady to correspondent oi the Cleveland Leader. "With some friends called upon him. He received US cor dially. When our business was complet- ed the Baron invited us to visit his pri vate museum, which filled an upper floor of the bank building. It had taken the noble banker some fifty years to form this collection of rare and valuable an tiquities. After making the tour o1 the long hall the Baron drew from his pocket massive iron key and unlocking the door at one en'l beckoned us to follow him into dimly lighted room. On entering we saw ranged about it series of tall and narrow ma. hogany wardrobes, the doors of which our host rapidly threw open, disclosing to our astonished gaze grim and ghastly hkman skeleton in each.
 "Ladies,' said this extraordinary man, let me introduce you to this select circle oi my intimate friends-friends, ladies, ir whom 1 confide all, and who reveal nothing. Here is my beautiful Etalka, the love of my youth, who cast aside her flesh half century ago and is still true to me. This is all that remains to me of old Heinrich, the faithful cashier for forty years of my father and myself. Enter and fear nothingp And as much afraid of refusing as to obey we passed the box and found ourselves standing in a close, cell-like apartment, hung with heavy black draperies, and lavishly orna- mented with armorial bearings and nu- merous deaths heads and crossbones. Nearly filling the place was huge casket or coffin of ebony, lined with black velvet and arranged to receive body; and on the silver-plate attached to the lid was in. Bcribed the Baron's name and title, with 6 blank space left for his age and date o1 death. To the foot of the coffin was at tached parchment scroll, containing in. Structions for the Baron's funeral, in which, among other stipulations, he di rected that the horses attached to the hearse should be driven on fast trot to a tune he had bis music-box play for us."

EARLY MATURITY,
Two Safe and Common-Sense Methods by
 Which It Can Be Accomplished.

Two Safe and Common-Sense Methods by Which It Can Be Accomplished.
 The question of early maturity in the breeding of farm animals is one of spe- cial importance, but early maturity
 should not mean a young animal loaded with fat. The butcher will decide
 against such an animal every time, if
 he has chance. The butcher looks to
 the lean meat of a carcass for profit, for this lean meat is what the buyer
 pays for. If the muscle is filled with
 sufficient fat to render the whole succu- lent, the true aim has been reached in the production of superior beef and mutton. If it be hog, a large amount of fat is admissible, since the lard is nearly as valuable as the lean meat.
 This early maturity. with due pro- portion of muscle, is accomplished, first, by selecting animals of early ma turing breeds, and second, feeding for the purpose in view. In summer flush pasture, grass and clover, contain this nutrIment in the proper degree. That is to say, the mixed grasses form a perfect food, nourishing all parts alike, of the animal economy. When special foods are given they must also contain the elements of bone, muscle and fat in proper proportion, and if the young steer or lamb have had these the first full year of life as a steer, or for seven months as a lamb, the animal may thereafter be safely given a larger proportion of Indian corn-our cheapest single food for finishing of. Mill stuffs, bran, light barley and oil cakes are generally cheap enough so they may be economically used in feed- ing young animals.
 Without going into a discussion on perfect foods, many of which are mys- tifying to many practical feeders, it is safe to say that corn meal and bran, of equal weight, in connection with grass or good, sweet hay, comes pretty near to being a food that will nourish all parts fully. If oats and light barley are cheap, these may be given with corn so each will constitute one-third of the whole by weight. If oil cake can be had, two pounds or more per day for each young steer may be added with profit.
 What the feeder is constantly to keep in mind, however, is the cost of the feeding material. If one kind is scarce and consequently dear, use something containing the component parts as near as may be. Then the nearer an animal is kept up to full feed, without cloying, from birth to the butchers block, the greater the profit; for the assimilation of food has been definitely shown, as previously stated in this journal, to be a decreasing ratio for the amount fed, the older the animal is. Besides this, if it takes half the food eaten to supply the average waste from birth to the age of four years, this alone becomes a heavy charge against the current value of the animal at that age, and therefore an increasing charge un- til it is butehered.-Farm Field aud Stockman.
